I can then increase the volume with ctrl+1 and decrease it with ctrl+2, by setting in the options ctrl+# to "launch and stay"

What i would suggest to make things easier :

1) i'd like to be able to select an item and then press ctrl+enter... ctrl+enter would launch the selected item and keep FARR opened as long as ctrl+# is set to "launch and stay", etc.

2) even better, maybe we could have optional parameters in the alias edit box, to specify that FARR has to stay opened :volume up | C:\_joker\Utilities\Ahk\volume up.ahk | FARRSTAYOPENvolume downn | C:\_joker\Utilities\Ahk\volume down.ahk | FARRSTAYOPEN

I'm sure it would be usefull and would allow new ways to use FARR (like sound settings in colibri, ...)
